Every organization has tensions and differences. The challenge is working with these conflicts in ways that minimize unfairness, politics, and bitter feelings, and that maximize the organization's ability to make timely, wise choices and follow through on them.

Consulting services

• Backstage coaching in handling negotiations and organizational conflicts
